Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The availability of image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy is expected for prostate cancer. The late rectal toxicity is the most important problem in high-dose external beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Late rectal toxicity was 7.4% after image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy in this study. The result of this study indicates that the risk of late rectal toxicity correlates with the rectal volume exposed to high doses of image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and the percentage of the rectum covered by 70 Gy and 60 Gy are needed to keep below at least 10% and 18%, respectively.
